Sunday:Storm returns to chat after being away for a long time, working on a book of fiction; Kil is off to laundry; can a recurring dream be a memory from a past life? (Who can say discussions are boring when Storm is around?) Is skepticism a religion?

Wednesday: With the most recent episode of BigBrain spamming the SFN yet again occurring only hours before chat, a discussion on what should be done quickly became the primary topic. Kil showed up in a dress, but no one took notice as many were distracted by a new game, Tower Defense. If you like puzzles and shooting things, this game is for you. Dr. Mabuse announces that he will be going to Dragon*Con, America’s largest role-playing convention, along with the good folks from Skepticality. HPV was briefly discussed as well as forum security. After most left, Tower Defense took over the conversation and did so till chat ended.

“The first new Darwin Awards book in three years, The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design is the latest addition to one of the most popular and successful humor franchises on bookshelves today.

Named after Charles Darwin, the father of evolution, The Darwin Awards pays homage to those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it.

Most of us know instinctively that the phrase ‘trust me, light this fuse’ is a recipe for disaster. Darwin Award winners do not. Most of us have basic sound judgment that eliminates the need for NO SMOKING signs at gas stations. Darwin Award winners do not. No warning label could have prevented evolution from creeping up on the homeowner who filled his house with natural gas to kill termites, the easy rider who decided to steer his motorcycle with his feet, or the winner who tried to weld a hand grenade onto a chain. Filled with more than one hundred new tales of evolution in action, and complete with essential science and safety discussions, The Darwin Awards 4: Intelligent Design shows that when it comes to common sense, natural selection still has a long way to go.”

The mission of the Skeptic Friends Network is to promote skepticism, critical thinking, science and logic as the best methods for evaluating all claims of fact, and we invite active participation by our members to create a skeptical community with a wide variety of viewpoints and expertise.
